Description: Allows network connections to serial ports
 This daemon allows telnet and tcp sessions to be established with a
 unit's serial ports. Combined with a terminal emulation like xterm or
 the Linux console, this can be a very simple means of communicating
 with routers, other systems' serial consoles and other equipment with
 a serial port. This is remarkably similar to the reverse telnet
 feature of some Cisco routers.
